Default Sims 3 Generations Challenge
Sims 3 Generations Challenge
Hello, there's a possibility that I've uploaded this challenge before under a different name, I just can't seem to remember if it was just sitting in my computer for a while, unposted OR if I previously posted it. If I have, I cannot find it so I am reposting it. I edited it a little bit to fix some issues in my original.

Hiya, People! I don't think there is any other challenge like this out there, but if there is, please tell me who created a similar challenge, and I'll give them credit.

SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
There are 6 game difficulties in this challenge; Easy, Medium, Hard, Intermediate, Professional & Impossible.

Easy: Grow your family to 10 generations. (Alright, I mean. It's difficult, but compared to hard it's pretty flippin' easy.)

Medium: Grow your family to 20 generations. (Yeah, getting harder for sure. But not quite s hard as it's gonna get.)

Hard: Grow your family to 30 generations. (Okay, yeah. You'd be lucky if you made it this far. You're probably sick of toddlers by now.)

Intermediate: Grow your family to 40 generations. (Okay. Yup. Hard as crap now. If you aren't sick of toddlers by now, then you truly have patience.)

Professional: Grow your family to 50 generations. (OKAY. WOAH. THAT'S PUSHING IT. NONONO. NOT GONNA MAKE IT THIS FAR WITHOUT BEING SICK OF CRYING BABIES.)

Impossible: Grow your family to 60 generations. (AHAHAH. YOU'LL NEVER MAKE IT TO 60 GENERATIONS. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE.)

HOW TO COMPLETE ONE GENERATION:
You must have the heirs of the generation. They must have 6 children by the time they die. Lifespan must be on long. No rush.

For the next generation:
Pick the youngest child (as long as he/she is a Young Adult) and use them and their lover as the heir of the next generation.

(DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? PROBABLY NOT YET?)

Onto the challenge...

A) In their relationship, they must be husband/wife, before you begin.
B)They must have different eye,hair & skin colours
C) Wife: Must have the Family Oriented trait (. ( And DisAnd Nurturing trait if you have Generations) & the Surrounded By Family Lifetime Wish
D) Husband: Must have the Family Oriented, and Workaholic traitsciplined trait if you have World Adventures) He can have any Lifetime Wish

2. Create the house.
A) You must have an *empty* 30x40 lot to begin with.
B) You can set your simoleons to 45,000 using the familyfunds cheat.
C) The house must include; A kitchen, A family area, 3 bathrooms, A study, The parents bedroom, A girls bedroom, A boys bedroom, & A nursery. If you decide to make an outdoor area, it must have an outdoor activity, a pool, a barbecue & a seating area.
D) You can also spend 1000 simoleons on a garden if you would like.

3. Your simoleons must be automatically set to 1000 before you can begin gameplay.

You must use this house through every generation. Once the next heir is ready to resume, move the others to another house.

3. No cheats (except the allowed money cheats in the beginning) or else you fail.
4. You must have at least 6 children per generation, if you are able to have more than eight in a household, and you want more children, then go for it.

17. Funerals for pets are also necesary. (If you have pets ep.)

Ok so I started this challenge, or at least set it up for a week, and I've just gotten into it! I'll tell you about it as soon as I read the rules to your version of the legacy/generations challenge! Also I'll go for 20-40 generations at most, hopefully I can complete that

So my founders are Kathleen and Rashad Parnell. Kathleen is currently pregnant with her first child, she'll be giving birth soon. Kathleen's traits are: Clumsy, Family-oriented, Handy, Natural Cook, and Neat. Rashad's traits are: Good Sense of Humor, Family-Oriented, Hopeless Romantic, Artistic, and Easily Impressed(The only reason I didn't give him the workaholic trait is because I rather him be home working on books paintings and Alchemy). Kathleen has Purple skin with pink hair(yes, I'm putting perfect genectics into this, but without needing a perfect heir, I'll chose the youngest like I always do), as Rashad has emerald green skin and baby blue hair.

That's all I have for now, I'll update this when something interesting happens.
Also, I tried to upload photos of the sims but the upload keeps failing. I'll post the photos of the(future) children as they grow up(as in taking screenshots of them until I fix this problem).

Hey, that sounds cool! I don't know how to post anything here, since I'm new, but I really want to ask a question. Not so long ago, I saw this post, about what I'm pretty sure was a legacy challenge. Each generation had a story. The first generation was perfect, and then the daughter tried to make the second generation perfect, but she fucked up, and the next daughter didn't want a husband, and raised kids on her own, and then the next daughter had an alright family, but then one of her kids died etc. I think it went like that, but with more details and more generations, but I can't seem to find it anywhere, and it frustrates me a bit. I just wanted to ask, if anyone has seen it, and knows where it is? I really wanna try it

Hi! Quick question : does the new generation start when the parents die or when the youngest child becomes Ã* young adult? If it's the latter, do we get rid of the parents as well ? Thanks!

I think I'll do this with the adoption challenge(where every gen you adopt 1 more child) so with my first gen I have a lesbian couple that adopted a baby girl, then when she was a child, they adopted a baby boy. Their names were Merideth and Samuel.
